Hair transplant or Hair replacement or hair restoration or hair transplantation or hair grafting is most common cosmetic surgery procedure request by male patients. The main cause of baldness is heredity.

Depending upon the severity, male baldness is classified into 7 grades. Hairs fall from the front and the centre of the head, but even in the cases of severe baldness, hair do not fall from the back and sides of the head, as these hairs are permanent and are not influenced by the gene that causes baldness. Permanent hair is taken from the sides and back of the head and these hairs are transplanted to the bald area by Follicular Unit Transplant Technique (FUT) and single hair grafts. Hair transplant cost in Kolkata and India depends on the number of follicles transplanted.

Hairs are arranged in the scalp in Follicular units or groups of usually 1 or 2 hairs, sometimes 3 and very very rarely 4 hairs. In the Follicular Unit Transplant Technique (FUT), these hair follicular units are harvested from the donor area which has permanent hairs and are transplanted into the bald areas. The harvest from the donor area can be by the 'Strip technique' or FUT, or by 'Follicular Unit Extraction technique ( FUE )'. The 'Strip technique' is used by 90% surgeons all over the world and is the most common and effective method for harvesting large number of grafts, esp. for a big area of baldness. FUE can harvest limited number of hair follicles and is used for cases with smaller areas of hair loss. Moreover, FUE causes damage and loss of 10 to 30% permanent hair follicles, and this is an irreplacable loss to the patient, who already is deficient in hairs and cannot afford to lose any permanent hairs. Also, there is a possibility of loss of the transplanted hair of FUE after a few years. A great example is VIRENDRA SEHWAG who lost 70% of his transplanted hair after 6 years of FUE. Moreover, you have to shave your head for FUE hair transplant and the hair take 3 months to grow back and everone knows you have undergone a procedure. In FUT, you need not shave the head, and there are no tell-tale signs of hair transplantation in the donor area immediately at the end of the procedure.

Dr. Manoj Khanna does "Trichophytic closure" in all cases using a special personalised technique, which makes the scar in the donor area difficult to visualise after a few months of the procedure. Hair grow through the scar and it can only be seen when you shave your head. In comparision, unlike advertisements which are misleading and false and promise scarless surgery by FUE, the scarring is much more in FUE than FUT. Afer FUE, depending on the number of punches made, you will see 2000 or more dots, like a Chinese Checker Board when you shave the head due to the FUE.

Dr. Khanna has designed a special instrument called the "Kolkata Slit" which is being patented and is very useful for Hair Transplantation. Dr. Manoj Khanna specialises in both the techniques of FUT or Strip Technique, and FUE, and caters to the demand of the patient according to the request and requirement.

Dr.Manoj Khanna specializes in providing a most natural looking hairline and distribution of hair follicles all over the scalp which cannot be differentiated from the original. In face, most people comment that even their barber cannot make out whether the hair are transplanted or original.

The transplanted hair appear just like normal hair, never fall and grow continuously at a rate of 1-2 cm. per month like other hair. Shampoo and oil can be applied & they can be combed to the style of your choice. The transplanted hairs are permanent and grow like normal hair and need haircuts later. Dye can be used on them, and even if the transplanted hair are shaved, they will regrow subsequently.

The entire procedure is done under local anesthesia and the patient is awake and aware during the hair transplantation. There is cable TV in the Operation Theatre, and the patient can watch his favourite channel on television whilst the surgery is done. 4 to 6 people work at the same time, and it takes 3 to 6 hours for a sitting to be complete. The patient goes home immediately after the operation.

One or more sittings of Hair transplant may be required, depending on the severity and extend of baldness. A maximum of 6000 to 7500 Follicles can be transplanted in one sitting by the 'Strip technique' and if required, another sitting can be done after 6 months. Anyone with large areas of baldness can have repeated sessions of hair transplant 4 to 5 times at a gap of 6 months or more. This is in sharp contrast to the FUE technique, where not more than 2500 to 3500 follicles can be transplanted in one sitting by the best of surgeons anywhere in the world.

There are no side-effects of Hair Transplantation. The operation is on the scalp outside the skull bone and the brain is inside the skull, and there are no adverse effects of hair transplantation.
